Then there is shown one way of ac-(
quiring ancestors, a Sari vivid series
of motion-pictures demonstrating the'
way of a man with a monkey, when '
one sets about capturing the other.
Ironical interest attaches also to this!
piet ire on account of tin- monkeys'
mental methods. They Insert their |
hands into the m-ck of a calabash,
cicse their fists about the bait within I

I they cannot withdraw them again.

maniacal, suicidal riding done by a lot
'of continental demons in the cavalry

country's service. The program de?
scribes these feats as l>eing "repleto
with hair-breadth escapes." but many
of those that I saw weren't escapes:
they were catastrophes. The stepping
of a Isarae upon a man was a mer-- in

In the Wake of the Game
By GUS MALBERT
Jt may be that predateBt Bo.itwnght has his staff of umpires all cocker,
and prinfd for next season, but tf he has he has managed to keep it a eearatS
, There is no one agency in minor league baseball winch adds ao much to " fft*rr\~
..- which can detract equally as much from its attractiveness as the class o|
umpiring exhibited. A good sat of umpires can take even mediocre ball plays)
' eis and make them look good to the spectators, ?h'.le mediocre umpires cart
j maks good ball players look like dubs. ara aa gr?at sticklers for rea
trenchmem as any one. and are f*el with the magnates that th* life of a mlnot?
. league is dependant upon keeping e:<:pense.t as low as possible, compattbla
? with fair baachall. But the cutting ahould not be in the salaries paid the um?
; irea start early, get good awn. know that they ar* good, avoid the neceaeity
j of having to take a chance with the leftovera with the inevitable reeulte of}
navlng to change th?? staff three or four times during a season, snd one of fha
greates: strides forward towards pleasing the public will have been made.
President Boatwright, as we opined st the outset, may have eeleot'd his urn*
j pires and may expect to soring a surprise on the public some time later, but
If hg :s he is making a mistake. The fans have a right to know as early ag
possible the na.T.ea of the arbitrators. There are some things which the public}
is no: entitled to know, but the r.amea of the men who wtll handle the tndl*
cat'T i:t the league, which the public's shekels make possible, is not one of
them
We wonder whether tnat princely stipend to be paid Frank chance by CWtih
1 er Parrel], of the Highlanders?something like $4n,n,*s a year, plus 5 per cant
of the progte we watalar, whether or not that round and bulging figure rams
not out of >he land of NOd. Not that we would drop cold water on th? value of
the story, whether true or not, from the press agent's standpoint. New YorH
always wants to go everybody one better, and having the hir#hest priced base'
ball manager extant, even if his pay check does dwindle when he cashes It. so
long as the public doesn't know the difference, goes with the hundred-story
biildtngs and such other indications of bigness and rreatness as C.otham boasts
at*. I'ortv fhngaawd d.>lla:? per annum la important money, considerably lm?
p.?-t.tnt, ami Mr rarroll a ill have to count quite a few pasteboards before ha
get* any return on the. investment, and yet Chance is one of the grandest mer?
la the game.
Still another question has presented Itself. How much actual good doeg
it do ball players to take them away from the country m which they arc ac?
i climated. ke? p them in a country aatae twenty degrees warmer than theia
! homes for some als waeha and then shoot them back into the frigid blasts.
\,- >prinr framing trips really taken to (-et the men in condition, or aa a
j wise Im salinem from the standpoint of publicity? f'lark ?rrifflth is taking- his
I men to Chart at teeviUe. which will give them weather as much like Washington
1 ,i. pooetbtt W? believe that quiet la good for the men, and that a small town
like CbartotteavlUe is almost ideal. But how about Atlanta. Savannah and thw
other cities of the South where temptations ar- just as great and opporunitiea
almost as plentiful aa in Chicago, Boston. Philadelphia or any of the other?
larger cities. It must pay to advertise, for from a physiukigical standpoint, th*
reaction on the men. going Vom warmth into winter weather, must be harmful.
That old discussion of summer ba*?i>all for college athletes is causing
something of a flurry here and there. Mathewson holds that the college youth
should Be allowed to play the game, and so do a number of players and soma
few writers. Sure, let them play professional ball. Nothing could be farther
from our mind than to prohibit the young man who wants an education arid
aas to earn it. from doing so by playing professional baseball. But let him
keep out of college athletics. Ha can have all th? advantages of training at
eollec. but let him stay out of intercollegiate contests. Education is what ho
is after, so let him earn the money to obtain it any way he can, honestly, of
eovrae but so far as athletics in his schools is concerned, he must be barred.
The two St. I?uis clubs are to play a series of spriug contests. That musf
be some consolation for the .St. Tvouis fans, for tw, Louis will win.
Just to get the records straight that story going the rounds that BUT
Ryron is to take Fred W?stervelt's place in the American League as an um-?
pire would be all right, but that Bill has signed a contract with Thomas J,
Lynch to work in the National Ir-ague next season
If Napoleon I-ijoie is to go to the Highlanders next season, there Is reat
reason for believing that Frank Chance has a look-in for that rag. despita
predictions to the contrary. But is Clev-eland going to let the Frenchman, witaj
a .P.00 clout still in his lamp, get away?
If CUrk Crifflth is really interested In Joe Bochlifig. he should drop dowrj.
this way awhile and watch the lad at practice. Joe can hit a dime at a dis?
tance of 1<W? yards with any slant he has in his repertoir.-. He has been work*
ing indoors all winter, and control his is watchword.
Roth of the medical colleges will do their preliminary training for the)
h ;i ??? b.i 11 season on the C. C A field.
Preliminary work, seeking to establish a uniform s*t of rules for trace;
meets, has been done. The idea is to unify the rules so that there will be n-o
conflict between the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the Intercol?
legiate Athletic Association of America and the Amateur Athletic Union of
the Dafted States. At present there are three codes. To get together so that
all track meets can be run under similar conditions is worthy, of the best ef
fattl of the men who hav? trve work in hand, and fortunately they are men
who have the interacts of the games at heart and ability to carry out the task
to a successful issue.
Local b caiers have an opportunity to-night to show their loyalty by at?
tending the meeting iti th? Falac- Altera, which will send a delegate to Wash*
inztoti to arrange the Intercity serr*s with Washington and Baltimore.
